Get
the kids in the car. The spit-up off the baby's dress. All the cloths
in the wash. Too late - Bobby forgot to dig his dirty socks out from
under the bed. Bake the coffeecake for the Moms-only Reading Circle. No
sugar!

For all of us, life without superpowers is 24/7 experience of trying to cope.

Add faith... and its demands.

And enter Benedict XVI. Yesterday he offered a key insight on coping with life and living your faith to the hilt.

We must not fear the humility of taking small steps, trusting in the leaven that makes the dough rise slowly and mysteriously... From
the Gospel we see how Jesus was interested in every human situation He
encountered, He immersed Himself in the lives of the men and women of
His time, with complete trust in the help of the Father… In Him, proclamation and life were entwined.

Faith is life. You don't need superpowers to go the extra mile, because living everyday life with love is the extra mile.
